## Features
* Clean simple design
* Mobile friendly
* Customizable
* Designed to not interfere with main website
* Zero initial configuration
## Installation
Navigate to your hugo website root and run:
```
git clone git@github.com:alex-shpak/hugo-book.git themes/book
```
Then run hugo (or set `theme: book` in configuration file)
```
hugo server --theme book
```
## Configuration
### File tree menu (default)
By default theme will render pages from `content/docs` section as menu in a tree structure.
You can set `title` and `weight` in front matter of pages to adjust order and titles in menu.
### Leaf bundle menu
You can also use leaf bundle and content of it's `index.md` as
menu.
Enable it by pointing to leaf bundle with `BookMenuBundle` parameter on Site level.
- [Example menu](exampleSite/content/menu)
- [Example config file](exampleSite/config.yml)
- [Leaf bundles](https://gohugo.io/content-management/page-bundles/)
### Site configuration
There are few configuration options you can add to your `config.yml|json|toml` file
```yaml
# (Optional) Set this to true if you use captial letters in file names
disablePathToLower: true
params:
# (Optional, default true) Show or hide table of contents globally
# You can also specify this parameter per page in front matter
BookShowToC: true
# (Optional, default none) Set leaf bundle to render side menu
# When not specified file structure and weights will be used
# See https://gohugo.io/content-management/page-bundles/
BookMenuBundle: /docs/menu
# (Optional, default docs) Specify section of content to render as menu
# You can also set value to "*" to render all sections to menu
BookSection: docs
```
### Per document configuration
You can specify additional params per document in front matter
```yaml
---
# Set type to 'docs' if you want to render page outside of configured section
type: docs
# Set page weight to re-arrange items in file-tree menu (if BookMenuBundle not set)
weight: 10
# Set to mark page as top level section in file-tree menu (if BookMenuBundle not set)
bookTopSection: true
# Set to hide table of contents, overrides global value
bookShowToC: false
---
```
### Partials
There are few empty partials you can override in `layouts/partials/`
| Partial | Placement |
| -- | -- |
| layouts/partials/docs/inject/head.html | Before closing `<head>` tag |
| layouts/partials/docs/inject/body.html | Before closing `<body>` tag |
| layouts/partials/docs/inject/nav-before.html | Before `<nav>` menu block |
| layouts/partials/docs/inject/nav-after.html | After `<nav>` menu block |
## Contributing
Contributions are welcome and I will review and consider pull requests.
Primary goals are:
- Keep it simple
- Keep minimal (or zero) default configuration
- Avoid interference with user-defined layouts
If you missing some configuration or customisation option feel free to open issue.
